While too much emphasis is placed on the private sexual activity of LGBTQ individuals, the AIDS epidemic compelled advocacy within our community around issues of public health. QAAAM aims to raise visibility for this important cause impacting us all directly or indirectly. We invite you to visit our table for a goodie bag with candy, sexual health supplies, and information on where the MIIS community can seek sexual health services in Monterey County.
